At least two people are dead and 12 people are injured in a dramatic fire on board the Norwegian coastal cruise liner «Nordlys».

Many of the passengers aboard «Nordlys» are foreign tourists.

Seems things worked out as good as they can in this situation.

A nightmare, Samen. Considering the amount of smoke and the number of passengers on deck, they are lucky the casualties are so small.

The ship is about to capsize.
It has a 22 degree list (20 considered critical for this ship) and increasing.

From elsewhere:
Divers had earlier plugged a hole in the hull. But a new gush of seawater entered the ship later, and it was not immediately possible to locate from where water was coming into the ship.
